Unzipping file results in "BadZipFile"

Question

I know there are similar questions but neither of them provided a solution for my problem. I am using the following code:

import os, glob
import zipfile

root = 'E:\\xx\\fashion\\*'
directory = 'E:\\xx\\fashion\\'
extension = ".zip"

date_file_list = []
for folder in glob.glob(root):
    if folder.endswith(extension): # check for ".zip" extension
        print(folder)
        zipfile.ZipFile(os.path.join(directory, folder)).extractall(os.path.join(directory, os.path.splitext(folder)[0]))
        os.remove(folder) # delete zipped file_name

And I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/xx/unzip.py", line 12, in <module>
    zipfile.ZipFile(os.path.join(directory, folder)).extractall(os.path.join(directory, os.path.splitext(folder)[0]))
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\zipfile.py", line 1026, in __init__
    self._RealGetContents()
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\zipfile.py", line 1094, in _RealGetContents
    raise BadZipFile("File is not a zip file")
zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file

Some of the files are compressed in winzip some of them are in 7zip. But there are too many files to unzip. Anybody know why this error is occurring?

But I think my script skips if the extension is .7z right? – edyvedy13 Jun 27 '17 at 12:09 — edyvedy13, Jun 27 '17 at 12:09
So the problem is with the files that has .zip extension – edyvedy13 Jun 27 '17 at 12:12 — edyvedy13, Jun 27 '17 at 12:12
